IMPROVEMENT n ADDiRESs-P RlNTlNG MACHINES.

SpntililCflfilOll forming part of Letters latent No. 80,?85, dated July 28, 1868.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRI JULTEN, of Ottawa, Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Addressing-Presses; and I do 4 hereby declare thatthei'ollowing isa full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The nature of my invention relates to improvementsin addressing-presses to be used in newspaper and other such establishments where it is required, at frequently-recurring periods, to address great numbers of papers ordocuments tothe same lists ofnames and places, whereby the same may be done by an automatically-operating machine with only the attendance of one person and it consists in the arrangement of a vertically-reciprocalting press,

under which the formor galley containing the names and places of residence, set up in type, is caused to pass with an intermitting motion, on which the folded papers lie, to be forced down by the said reciprocating press to receive the impression of the type, and in. the different combinations and arrangements of mechanism embodied in the said automatic machine to efsponding parts in all the figures.

A represents the vertically-reciprocating press, which receives its motion from the driving-shaft K through the medium of pinion I, wheel F, connecting-rod I oscillating shaft D, segmental wheel C, and rack B on the said reciprocating press A.

"I is a sliding table, which carries the forms or galleys and slides in a dovetailed groove in the top N of the frame-work of the machine, and which receives intermitting motion through the medium of the ratchetbar O, afiixed to brackets projecting downward from the said slide, pawl P, oscillating arm Q, connecting-- rod R, and eccentric S on the shaft H.

T is an oscillating cam-shaft, connected tothe hand-lever by means of the cranks a a. and connecting-rod e.

f and f represent cams on the shattT, which are designed to throw the mechanism for operating the press and the sliding carriage out of or into gear with the driving mechanism.

1 is a lever, pivoted at [1-, one end of whiehis' in a position to be acted upon by the cam fon D, one end being fastened to the sameand the,

other to a bracket, 0", projecting from the framework of the machine. The said spring bears the shalt D in a direction to raise the pressA- I up from the galley when it is thrown out-of gear with the driving-power, and also assists the gears G and 13 in raising the same while at work.

A is a chute or slide, on which the folded papers may be fed to the galley on which they arecarried, and under the press.

B are troughs resting on brackets C, fixed to the framing under the operating parts of the machine, for holding the galleys or stereotype-plates.

When the machine is sctin motion by power applied to the driving-shaft, the cam-shaft T being moved by the hand lever 0 so that the cams on the same will admit the pawl P to'fall into connection with the rack 0 and the connecting-rod E into connection with the wrist pin on the crank ofshaft D, motion will be communicated to the pressand to the slide carrying the stereotype-plates or galleys, when, the folded papers being fed over the chute A onto the said plate, they will rest on the type as they are carried under the press, and, being pressed hard onto the said type, will receive the impression of the same on their un'dersidcs.

As one plate passes over the table it may be taken oil and put in itsappropriate trough on the brackets'c. Then by turning the handle ver U in the proper direction the pawl P will 2 l s p 80,285

spring 1), and the mechanism for'operating the shaft D, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The combination, with the pawl and connecting-rod E, of the mechanism for connecting them and disconnecting them with the parts to which they commnnicatemo'tion, substantially as and for the purpose described.

The above specification :of my invention signed me this 5th-da-y of February, 1868. HENRI J ULIEN.
